adc question
PostPosted: Mon Apr 18, 2016 12:46 pm     Reply with quote
Hello,

I have a question. You see my codes are so classical adc codes. If I do size of the character array 3 or greater than 3, there is not problem. But, i have 16 bit adc conversion value. For better speed i don't want to use 12 bit or greater character array. In theory, " unsigned char datas[2]" should be enough for me. But it isn't working, If I use "unsigned char datas[4]" it is working . I watch my simulation by using Proteus and Labview(or matlab) via elitima software.

I hope, I could tell my question.

Thanks..

Code:

#include <18F4550.h>
#device ADC=10


#fuses HSPLL,NODEBUG,NOCPD,NOPROTECT,NOPUT
#FUSES PLL5 //PLL BOLME ORANI 5
#FUSES CPUDIV2 //MCU CLOCK DİVİSİON
#FUSES NOWDT                    //No Watch Dog Timer
#FUSES WDT128                   //Watch Dog Timer uses 1:128 Postscale
#FUSES NOBROWNOUT               //No brownout reset
#FUSES NOLVP                    //No low voltage prgming, B3(PIC16) or B5(PIC18) used for I/O
#FUSES NOXINST                  //Extended set extension and Indexed Addressing mode disabled (Legacy mode)

#use delay(crystal=20MHz)
#use delay(clock=48MHz)

#define LED PIN_B0
#define DELAY 1000
#use rs232(baud=115200,xmit=pin_c6,rcv=pin_c7,parity=N,stop=1)


-------------------------------------------------

#include <main.h>
unsigned long int adcdeger;
[b]unsigned char veri[2];[/b]

void main()
{
    setup_psp(psp_disabled);
    setup_spi(spi_ss_disabled);
    setup_timer_1(t1_disabled);
    setup_timer_2(t2_disabled,0,1);
    setup_timer_3(t3_disabled);
    setup_ccp1(ccp_off);
    setup_ccp2(ccp_off);
    setup_adc(adc_clock_internal);
    setup_adc_ports(an0);
    set_adc_channel(0);
    delay_ms(1);
   
   //Example blinking LED program
   while(true)
   {
      adcdeger=read_adc();
      while(!adc_done());
      sprintf(veri,"%ld",adcdeger);
      puts(veri);
      delay_ms(3);
     
      //these codes provide us 5 Hz sampling rate.
      //delay_us(20);
      output_b(0x01);
      output_b(0x00);
     
   }

}

[2] is not enough. A 2 digit number string has at the minimum 3 characters:

1st digit, 2nd digit, null character

"02" is the same as {'0','2','\0'}

Jeremiah posted his reply while I was typing this. I'll post it anyway.

You have the compiler configured to return a 10-bit ADC result (with the
#device ADC=10 statement). So the result could be 0x3FF, which is 1023 in decimal.

Then you are converting the ADC result into an ASCII string with
the following line:
Quote:
sprintf(veri,"%ld",adcdeger);

Let's suppose the result is 1023. The output of sprintf will be:
'1' '0' '2' '3' 0x00
That's four ASCII bytes for the ADC result, plus a string terminator byte
of 0x00, which must be at the end of every string.

So you must have an array large enough to hold all these bytes.
This requires an array that is at least 5 bytes in size. Example:
Code:
int8 veri[5];

Your answer is really perfect, thanks very much.

Could you tell me any other suitable way to send datas ?

Sending ASCII data allows you to see the data in an visually understandable format but it does take 4 to send. If you simple send the unsigned integer 16 result as two bytes, transmission is twice as fast !

Either way the receiving computer program has to know the format!

There is no 'right' way, so the choice is up to you.

Alright, what is that way? I don't know it. Please share with me.

quick answer....

Have a look in the manual for 'make8(var,offset)'

consider you have

unsigned int16 adc_result=0;
char hi_adc=0;
char lo_adc=0;

...
do ADC and store result in adc_result...
....
hi_adc=make8(adc_result,1);
lo_adc+make8(adc_result,0);

..
now send to PC hi_adc then lo_adc

those 2 bytes contain the 10 or 12 bit ASC conversion result.

It's up to you to do the proper coding ( variable names, how to send etc.) Also be sure the PC program can accept the two bytes and convert back into 16 bits and do whatever conversion required to show onto the PC screen or program control.

Jay, I have tested your advice and my system is working more stable and fast right now. Thanks.
